Definitions
- This invention relates to enhanced utilization of audio and video communications in a telecommunications network.
- a video station is connected to a station of a subscriber, and an audio signal is encoded, or multiplexed in the case of a digital signal from the subscriber station, with a video signal from a video source other than the subscriber station and controllable by the subscriber.
- a video signal from a data bank or real time source (e.g., observation cameras), the video signal for displaying graphical information or other information better depicted pictorially rather than in audio form.
- a subscriber has a video and/or audio station and a terminal connected to a video source and database. The terminal is used to call for a video signal which is then encoded or multiplexed with the audio signal from the subscriber station and transmitted to the video station at the other end of the connection.
- the signals are encoded or multiplexed under the control of signals (e.g., control messages) from the subscriber station in a PBX or Centrex for serving a plurality of such subscriber stations, the video source and database or other video source being equipment controllable from subscriber terminals.
- signals e.g., control messages
- a subscriber has both a telephone station (which may be audio or video, but is not required to be video) and a terminal or keypad entry from the audio terminal for calling up information for the subscriber's use or for the use of the connected customer.
- the video source is supplied by a common carrier and is part of a service circuit node controlled in a service creation environment system.
- the subscriber station which is usually video in order to allow the subscriber to see the same displays seen by the customer, is used to control the requests for video signals from the video source.
- the subscriber can use the non-subscriber's video station to display video information from a database.
- the station performs such control by sending dialing signals to a receiver in a central office, the central office for encoding or multiplexing video signals from the video source with audio signals from the subscriber station.
- the subscriber station can control the display of stored data from the video source and can switch between looking at the video signal supplied by the customer and looking at the video signal from the video source.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the operation of applicant's invention.
- a video station 1 communicates with a video and/or audio station 2.
- video station 1 the non-subscribing station
- station 2 the subscribing station, the called station.
- the calling and called roles may be reversed between the subscribing and non-subscribing stations.
- the non-subscriber i.e., the party not having primary control of the video source
- the non-subscriber must have a video terminal.
- the user of station 2 has access from its video or audio station 2 or via terminal 5 for controlling one or more sources of video signals which video signals are returned to station 1 and possibly also to station 2 so that the controlling station sees the display being shown to video station 1.
- This station may be used in a windowing environment to preview multiple video sources before selecting a specific video to be transmitted to station 1.
- the non-subscribing station may be prompted using audio and/or visual messages to enter selections via a keypad to control video selection. For example, this prompting might best be applied via the non-audio portion of the connection.
- Station 2 (the subscribing station) may, for example, be the telephone station of a stock broker, and video station 1 (the non-subscribing station), may be the telephone station of a customer of the stock broker.
- Station 2 or a special terminal 5 is used by the stock broker to request video signals from the video source and database 6. These video signals may, for example, represent graphical information concerning the profit history of a corporation or a picture of one of the newer products of that corporation.
- Video stations 1 and 2 are connected via public switched telephone network 3 and a PBX or Centrex 4.
- PBX or Centrex 4 is an encoder or multiplexer which takes video signals from video station 2 or video source 6 and combines these with audio signals from station 2 to send to video station 1.
- station 2 is a video station (and it need not be in order to get many of the benefits of applicant's invention), video station 2 receives either the video and audio signal generated by video station 1, or the audio signal generated by video station 1, and a video signal from video source 6.
- PBX or Centrex 4 also contains a video signal detector 8 in order to allow the service implemented by applicant's invention to be invoked if the caller is calling from a video station.
- This video signal detector may be associated with encoder 7, may be a separate circuit to detect the special characteristics of an audio/video signal, or may be responsive to a common channel signaling message (not shown) for informing the PBX or Centrex 4 that the call is a video/audio call.
- PBX or Centrex 4 also includes a receiver 10 for receiving data signals from station 2 and for transmitting such signals to processor 9, which transmits control messages to video source 6.
- the video source 6 can be controlled either by terminal 5 directly or from data signals supplied by station 2 and forwarded by processor 9.
- Video source 6 can include a remote video camera to pick up real time events.
- FIG. 2 shows an alternative arrangement for implementing applicant's invention. Common elements are given the same name in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.
- central office 12 has replaced PBX or Centrex 4 and the processor 11 of that central office has replaced the processor 9 of PBX or Centrex 4.
- the video source is supplied from a service circuit node 21, housed in a service creation environment system 20.
- the service creation environment arrangement has been extensively discussed in, for example, in the AT&T Technical Journal, volume 70, numbers 3 and 4, 1991, especially pages 72-84.
- the service creation environment system includes a service circuit node 21, and a control processor 22. Within the service circuit node is a video source 23 which operates under the control of requests from processor 22.
- Control processor 22 receives control signals generated by processor 11 in response to signals from station 2 to receiver 10.
- Video source 23 is connected to encoder 7 through a telecommunications network 24 which may be part of the public switched telephone network 3, and which is used for connecting the service creation environment system to a plurality of switching systems such as central office 12.
- FIGS. 3-7 are flow diagrams illustrating the operation of applicant's invention.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the processes of call initiation, service verification, and call completion.
- the calling (non-subscribing) party is the party that receives, but does not directly control, the video displays
- the called (subscribing) party is the party that has such control.
- the calling party is the customer and the called party is the stock broker.
- the process is initiated when the calling party dials the called party (action block 301).
- the call is connected (action block 302) to the serving switch for serving the called party.
- This is either PBX or Centrex 4 or central office 12.
- ANI automatic number identification
- Test 303 determines whether this is a video call. Examples of ways of making this determination are to look for an indication that this is a video call has been sent in the common channel signaling message accompanying other signal information, or to check whether a predefined detectable tone, designed to alert the network that a video capability is present, has been sent. If not, then the called party serving switch determines if the calling party is sending video/audio signals (test 305). If not, then normal service is provided to that call without providing video service (action block 307). If the result of either of test 303 or 305 is positive, indicating that the calling party is in fact sending a video/audio signal, then test 311 determines whether the called party is a subscriber to the specialized video service described herein. If not, the call is completed normally without providing special service (action block 312). (Of course, if both parties have video stations they may communicate over these video stations using the video service provided by those stations which is a direct, point-to-point video communication).
- test 313 is used to determine whether the called party answers. If not, test 315 tests whether the calling party disconnects. If the calling party disconnects, then the call attempt is abandoned (action block 317). If the calling party does not disconnect, test 313 is repeated until the called party answers. At that time, an ordinary audio/video, audio, or audio/one-way video connection is established (action block 314).
- the audio/one-way video connection refers to the use of the service wherein the customer has a video station and so can receive the specialized video displays controlled by the stock broker or other subscriber, but the stock broker may not have the video station, so can neither receive video from the customer nor transmit video directly from his/her own station to the customer.
- the calling party answer step may be temporarily deferred to allow the caller to access the video source under his own control or to receive a preliminary video or audio/video signal prior to requesting a connection to an agent. In some cases, the connection to an agent may not be necessary.
- FIG. 4 relates to some of the specialized actions associated with the service when the subscriber (i.e., the entity controlling the video displays, e.g., the stock broker) is accessed via an automatic call distributor (ACD). These actions include the provision of special video displays in case the caller is forced to wait until the calling party, e.g., the stock broker, is able to answer the call. In a system which only provides audio service, the callers are frequently supplied with some combination of music and announcements. In the case of audio/video, a video or video/audio logo or other informational video or video/audio signal can also be supplied under the control of the subscriber facilities using this invention.
- ACD automatic call distributor
- test 401 determines whether the ACD directly connects the calling party to the called party. If not, then service parameters stored in the memory of processor 9 optionally combined with the caller's ANI identification determine whether a prerecorded video or audio/video message is to be delivered to the calling party (test 403). If not, then normal ACD voice and message call handling is performed (action block 405), until the calling and called parties are connected. Once the calling and called parties are connected, the called party determines by service code or real-time input, (for example, using a keypad entry) whether a prerecorded video is to be sent to the calling party (test 407). If not, then normal call handling (action block 314 of FIG. 3) continues.
- service parameters stored in processor 9 are used to determine the source of the video signal (action block 409).
- the service parameters might, for example, refer to the type of the account of the caller, so that an appropriate video announcement can be returned.
- the source may be customer premises equipment, or an external switch or adjunct, or a video source in a service creation environment system (block 20 of FIG. 2).
- Test 411 tests whether the video source is at the customer premises equipment; if not, services parameters stored in the processor direct the external switch or adjunct to retrieve the appropriate video source, and transmits this to the caller (action block 413). In case the called party is already on line, the called party's audio will simultaneously be transmitted by using the encoder 7 to combine the audio and video signals. If the video source is at the customer premises equipment (positive result of test 411), then the customer premises equipment directs selection of the video source and retrieves this signal and transmits it to the caller (action block 415).
- Test 417 determines whether the call is now completed to the called party; if not, the call remains on hold (action block 419) and test 417 (which also succeeds both action block 413 and 415) is reentered. If the call has been completed, then test 421 checks whether the video signal transmission has been completed. If so, then normal call connection (action block 314, FIG. 3) is entered. Otherwise, the system waits until the video signal has been completed before transferring back to action block 314.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the actions performed when a preselected video signal is supplied to a caller upon call connection.
- Test 501 which is entered from action block 314 (FIG. 2) tests whether automatic number identification (ANI) has been delivered for this call. If not, then the video selection is preselected (action block 503) based on service parameters stored either in one of processors 9 or 11 or 22 or in a processor of video source and database 6. If an ANI has been delivered, then ANI can be used to determine which video selection should be provided to the caller (action block 505). This decision can be based on the service parameters coupled with information related to the caller's ANI coupled with decision algorithms supplied by the customer (i.e., stock broker), which may include client specific, geographic, time of year, or other customized decision criteria.
- ANI automatic number identification
- the video signal is encoded over the audio signal (from the audio signal, if any) from the called station and delivered to the caller (action block 507).
- Test 509 and 511 are used to determine whether either the called party or the caller requests that the video signal be terminated through an indication entered via the keypad of the video station. If not, the signal continues. If so, the video signal is terminated (action block 513) and action block 314 (FIG. 3) is entered.
- Test 515 checks to see if the video message has been completed. If not, transmission of the message continues (action block 507). When the message is completed, action block 314 is entered.
- FIG. 6 illustrates actions performed when the calling party is placed on hold. This may happen, for example, in case the stock broker receives another call and temporarily places the original caller on hold.
- action block 601 shows that the call is in progress.
- the video signal is not currently being sent to the calling party, and the call is interrupted and placed on hold.
- Test 603 determines whether the service parameters require a video signal to be provided to the calling party. If not, then action block 314 is reentered. If so, then test 605 determines whether the service parameters direct the switch or adjunct to retrieve video source and transmit to the caller via an encoder or multiplexer. If not, then the customer premises equipment service parameters direct the retrieval of video from a customer premises equipment source (action block 607).
- Action block 609 which follows action block 607 or a positive result of test 605, specifies that a video signal is delivered to the calling party with or without an accompanying audio signal (such as music or a message). Subsequently, when the calling and called parties are reconnected (action block 611), a test is made whether the video signal is interruptable or completed. If so, then the signal is interrupted and action block 314 is reentered. If not, then the video signal is continued from the selected source until completed (action block 615) after which action block 314 is entered.
- FIG. 7 illustrates a request for a video signal while a call is in progress.
- the stock broker and customer may have been discussing a particular company and the stock broker wants to display to the caller a dynamic graph illustrating earnings over the last ten years, and growth and shifts in industry outlook.
- the initial state for FIG. 7 is that the call is in progress and no special video signal from a video data source is currently being sent (action block 701).
- Test 703 determines whether or not the called party requests a switch or adjunct to supply a video signal based on a keypad entry. If not, the subscriber may use local control over customer premises equipment to select a video source (action block 705). In either case, the selected video source is encoded or multiplexed and transmitted to the calling party (action block 707).
- Test 709 determines whether the called party wishes to terminate the video signal through an appropriate control signal entered by a keypad input. If so, action block 314 (FIG. 3) is reentered. If not, then test 711 determines whether the video source times out, (i.e., has completed transmission of its message). If a message is still ongoing, action block 707 is reentered. Otherwise, action block 314 is entered when transmission of the selected video source is either completed or interrupted.
- This invention can be used to enhance communications with the deaf or hearing impaired, from a service bureau equipped as indicated in FIG. 1.
- the display generated for an airline reservations clerk can be presented to the hearing impaired caller.
- This type of arrangement can also be used whenever a video station user communicates with an audio station of a non-subscriber.
- the video signal can be generated, for example, by a telecommunications service supplier, to provide advertising or other information, such as weather, supplied by a third party, to the video station at the same time as the audio channel is being used for the telephone conversation.
- the video source in FIG. 2 can be connected via the encoder/multiplexer 7 at the same time that an audio connection exists between an audio station 2 and video station 1; the encoder/multiplexer 7 can be part of a central office and need not be considered Centrex equipment.
